im not too good with colors, but if thats an original Boss, thats Grabber Green because i dont think silver jade metallic was available on the Boss 429(correct me if im wrong) i dont belive thats the same color on the Boss as it is on that 428CJ '69, it looks more silver

I don't know but the sure are purty! They do look different though. The boss has got to be a different color.

I agree with B, it's Silver Jade and Black Jade, totally different. The light on the Black Jade 429 is deceiving though. Go to the Metro Mustang website, they have the paint charts for all the model years and you can get a better idea of the variances.

IMHO, the Mach is Silver Jade but the Boss is Lime Gold. Grabber Green is much lighter and more greeeen!
